Description
Delicious gluten-free cookies made with cottage cheese, perfect for a healthy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups almond flour, packed
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to distribute evenly. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop small portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Lightly press down each cookie to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a sweeter cookie, add more honey or maple syrup.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- These cookies can be frozen for longer storage.
